Hello Admins,

I have added string replacement for the “Tutors” field to “Teachers” for School Admin \> Manage Form Groups. However, I need help editing the field description, that is, “Up to 3 per class. The first-listed will be marked as ‘Main Tutor’.”

Do I just do a search and replace in the database? If so, is this overwritten when I upgrade Gibbon? Thanks.

Hi achief, is your string replacement set to Partial? This should help catch strings inside other strings.

Thanks. It is all good now :). The string replacement feature is an amazing tool.
